What should I make for dinner tonight...?!
Answers: I want to make some kind of pasta dish, but I'm sick of the same old stuff that I usually make....any ideas? Something easy that doesn't take to long.
Go to the supermarket and look through the many boxes of Pasta-Rone. They are delicious. You can add to them if you wish.
My favourite is Garlic and Olive Oil. I usually add a more garlic by using garlic powder.
spagetti
tuna casserole
Jar of alfredo sauce with pasta. You can add chicken or shrimp or have meatless.
Or pesto sauce from a jar. Lots of quick off the shelf fixes for pasta. Freezer section also has veggies w/ or w/o meats to saute and add to noodles.
this takes no time pasta tuna celery mayo mix chill and serve salt and pepper to taste
Pizza
chicken pastsa over noodle
Shrimp Pasta!
Try to do this, its delicious and its my favorite one!
Good Luck

What do you call the same old stuff?heres one:
take one 12 oz can of Italian seasoned tomatoes (chopped) , one carrott, cut into thin strips, one zucchini squash, finely chopped, one 8 oz. can tomato sauce....put together in a sauce pan...cook together until carrots and zucchini are tender. While they are cooking, boil a pot of water and add half a package of your favorite pasta (I use linguini). cook as the box indicates. When done, add to sauce mixture and gently toss...Cook a few more minutes and serve. You can add meat to if you like.
I'm making chicken pasta alfredo tonight. It's so good. Just cut some chicken into small pieces and cook on the stove(no oil) untill you get a nice golden brown color. Then make spagetti as usual but instead of spagetti sauce use alferdo sauce. make some garlic bread on the side... I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Funny you should ask.
I found this one this morning and thought I'd try it.
Wild Rice Spaghetti Chicken
The chewy nuttiness of wild rice gives this chicken and pasta dish a distinctive taste and texture. Chicken broth, onion and red pepper round out the flavors.
Serves 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil,
1 cup wild rice.
3 green onions, chopped,
0.25 cup red bell pepper, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups spaghetti, cooked and drained
Directions
1. Saute chicken pieces in olive oil and set aside. In the same pan saute wild rice, green onions and red pepper pieces (about 3 minutes). Add chicken broth, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Add the chicken and cooked spaghetti. Cook another 10 to 12 minutes covered (stir at least once to prevent spaghetti from sticking). When ready, chicken should be very tender and have a nice creamy sauce to dish onto the plate.

If you haven't made pasta sauce from scratch with *fresh*, not dried basil, you have to do yourself a favor and try it.
Ingredients:
- Minced garlic
- Fresh basil
- Italian Sausage
- Olive Oil
- Diced or stewed tomatoes
- Tomato sauce
- Pasta of your choice
In skillet, brown pieces of sausage (about 1-inch big), set aside. In skillet, heat olive oil. Add garlic, and let it brown (careful, it will spatter some). Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sausage. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Put in fresh basil leaves, and cook for another 5 minutes covered. Put on pasta.
Fresh rosemary is also good to add to this.

Boil up your favorite pasta. I like Angel Hair.
Put a handful of raw spinach leaves in the bottom of your bowl.
Put pasta on top of spinach. (the pasta heat will wilt the spinach)
Add olive oil, parm cheese and some torn up basil leaves.
And toss.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Viola!
Simple and tasty!
You can do this in a small bowl for one person or in a big bowl for family style. It's fun to add other things too. You can lay out chopped tomatoes,real butter, basil, pine nuts, grated chesses, etc. for people to add what they want. Who says you need a lot of sauce for a great pasta dish?! Have a pasta party!
Enjoy!
